Here we are, another year past, and I didn't accomplish the things that I wanted to finish. Maybe I need some improvement on procrastination. The things that seemed so important to me last year, like improvements on the house and building a deck~~~things that would make life a little easier when I retire~~are somehow not as important now.

    I think the changes that need to be made are in me. I want to be a vessel of honor, not for people, but for Him...the One that sees the very soul of us. I am not a very good vessel if I don't have the joy of the Lord. If I am a vessel of and for Him, why do I sometimes get depressed or bored and even angry? This world that we live in desensitizes our hearts, and we tend to be led by our feelings, and not by our spirit. We find ourselves so involved with life that we have no time for anthing else.

    This year will be a year of change, and change means growth. One can grow only by feeding, and what food do I need ?... His Word . If I could see me the way He sees me, I would see less than the vessel that I desire to be. He needs to mold and make what He wants, and the only way for Him to use me more, is if I surrender "MY" will to Him.

    On that day, when He finally returns, (and it will come) I want to hear Him say "Well done, Thou good and faithful servant."
